phrase (language)

In grammar, a group of words identifiable as a unit but without a main verb, although non-finite verbs and the use of participles are common. Unlike a clause, a phrase can never be a complete sentence.

Five kinds of phrase are identifiable: noun phrase, verb, adjectival, adverbial, and prepositional phrase.
